Elon Musk and Grimes, the power couple of tech and music, have expanded their family once again, as revealed in a new biography about the billionaire entrepreneur. The New York Times has provided insights into journalist Walter Isaacson’s upcoming book, where it’s disclosed that Musk and Grimes are now parents to their third child, a son named Techno Mechanicus, affectionately known as “Tau.”
This latest addition makes Elon Musk a father to a total of 11 children, with an eclectic mix of names and family dynamics. Musk’s ever-expanding family tree is a fascinating one. His journey into parenthood began with six children from his first marriage to Justine Wilson.
In May 2020, the world was introduced to his unique naming style when he and Grimes welcomed their first child together, X Æ A-12. Not long after, the couple added to their brood with the birth of daughter Exa Dark Sideræl, fondly referred to as “Y,” through a surrogate in late 2021.
Surprisingly, it was revealed that just before the arrival of daughter Y, former Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis had given birth to Musk’s twins, Strider and Azure. Interestingly, the public only learned of these twins the following year, making for quite the surprise announcement.
The revelation of Musk’s twins with Zilis in the summer of 2022 prompted some humor from the SpaceX CEO himself. He quipped on Twitter about his growing number of offspring, stating that he was “doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis” and emphasizing the importance of addressing declining birth rates.
However, recent developments suggest a strain in Musk and Grimes’ relationship. In unverified screenshots circulating online, Grimes appears to make a heartfelt plea to the father of her children. She reportedly stated, “Tell Shivon to unblock me and tell Elon to let me see my son or plz respond to my lawyer.” These messages indicate a challenging situation, with Grimes expressing her frustration at being unable to even see a photo of her children, a situation that has deeply affected her and their family dynamic.
The story of Elon Musk’s expanding family continues to captivate the public’s curiosity, not only for its unique naming choices but also for the intricate dynamics that seem to surround this high-profile clan.
